There are a great many here on FR who would be most disappointed in the truth. I don’t own a 4 wheel drive, I haven’t a bunker of any type, I have under 5000 rd.s of ammo on hand [I won’t say how much under ;-). I get to the range once a month. I don’t spend weekends out in the woods ‘playing war’ and so on......

It’s not that you under 5,000 rounds.

It’s more important that you 5,000 rounds down.

See what I did there? It’s subtle.

Playing gardener or farmer is more “survivally” than playing war...

I think a lot of us preppers are like you. I have more ammo, but that's probably because my range time is quarterly. I have an all wheel drive but only because of snow and ice. My vehicle would quickly bottom out in an off road situation.

Me neither. I am out in Yuma, blowin’ stuff up.

But I don’t own a gun...

Well, I do have a 4 wheel drive (2 in fact), tons of camping gear, two bug out locations, a couple weeks of food, first aid kits and even have a prepper group put together. I have a total of 4 firearms and just a couple hundred of rounds of ammo. I do have reloading gear and a 3d printer that I’m working on printing AR lowers. I don’t have enough arms, ammo, food, tradeables, trash bags, water storage, electrical production, skills, com gear, etc, etc, etc. I don’t know that I ever will. Prepping is never and end state. It is a constant activity that is limited by time and pocketbook (and wife’s tolerance).

However, rest assured that I am NOT disappointed. You have looked at the situation and have started to take action to see that your family has a least some preparedness. You may not be able to last interdependently as long as others but hey. You are unlikely to be helpless. Every one who prepares even a little bit, means that when the SHTF, that is one less person who is going to be looking for a handout.
